The recent advances in nanowire (NW) growth technology have made possible the growth of more complex structures such as core-multi-shell (CMS) NWs. We propose the approach for calculation of electron subbands in cylindrical CMS NWs within the simple effective mass approximation. Numerical results are presented for ${rm GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As}$ radial heterostructure with AlGaAs-core and 4 alternate GaAs and AlGaAs shells. The influence of an effective mass difference in heterolayers is discussed.

Controlling decoherence is the most challenging task in realizing quantum information hardware. Single electron spins in gallium arsenide are a leading candidate among solid- state implementations, however strong coupling to nuclear spins in the subs
trate hinders this approach. To realize spin qubits in a nuclear-spin-free system, intensive studies based on group-IV semiconductor are being pursued. In this case, the challenge is primarily control of materials and interfaces, and device nanofabrication. We report important steps toward implementing spin qubits in a predominantly nuclear-spin-free system by demonstrating state preparation, pulsed gate control, and charge-sensing spin readout of confined hole spins in a one-dimensional Ge/Si nanowire. With fast gating, we measure T1 spin relaxation times in coupled quantum dots approaching 1 ms, increasing with lower magnetic field, consistent with a spin-orbit mechanism that is usually masked by hyperfine contributions.
Achieving significant doping in GaAs/AlAs core/shell nanowires (NWs) is of considerable technological importance but remains a challenge due to the amphoteric behavior of the dopant atoms. Here we show that placing a narrow GaAs quantum well in the A
lAs shell effectively getters residual carbon acceptors leading to an emph{unintentional} p-type doping. Magneto-optical studies of such a GaAs/AlAs core multi-shell NW reveal quantum confined emission. Theoretical calculations of NW electronic structure confirm quantum confinement of carriers at the core/shell interface due to the presence of ionized carbon acceptors in the 1~nm GaAs layer in the shell. Micro-photoluminescence in high magnetic field shows a clear signature of avoided crossings of the $n=0$ Landau level emission line with the $n=2$ Landau level TO phonon replica. The coupling is caused by the resonant hole-phonon interaction, which points to a large 2D hole density in the structure.
Quantum wells in InAs/GaSb heterostructures can be tuned to a topological regime associated with the quantum spin Hall effect, which arises due to an inverted band gap and hybridized electron and hole states. Here, we investigate electron-hole hybrid
ization and the fate of the quantum spin Hall effect in a quasi one-dimensional geometry, realized in a core-shell-shell nanowire with an insulator core and InAs and GaSb shells. We calculate the band structure for an infinitely long nanowire using $mathbf{k cdot p}$ theory within the Kane model and the envelope function approximation, then map the result onto a BHZ model which is used to investigate finite-length wires. Clearly, quantum spin Hall edge states cannot appear in the core-shell-shell nanowires which lack one-dimensional edges, but in the inverted band-gap regime we find that the finite-length wires instead host localized states at the wire ends. These end states are not topologically protected, they are four-fold degenerate and split into two Kramers pairs in the presence of potential disorder along the axial direction. However, there is some remnant of the topological protection of the quantum spin Hall edge states in the sense that the end states are fully robust to (time-reversal preserving) angular disorder, as long as the bulk band gap is not closed.
We show how a proper radial modulation of the composition of core-multi-shell nanowires critically enhances the control of the free-carrier density in the high-mobility core with respect to core-single-shell structures, thus overcoming the technologi
cal difficulty of fine tuning the remote doping density. We calculate the electron population of the different nanowire layers as a function of the doping density and of several geometrical parameters by means of a self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson approach: Free carriers tend to localize in the outer shell and screen the core from the electric field of the dopants.
We analyze the performance of a recently reported Ge/Si core/shell nanowire transistor using a semiclassical, ballistic transport model and an sp3s*d5 tight-binding treatment of the electronic structure. Comparison of the measured performance of the
device with the effects of series resistance removed to the simulated result assuming ballistic transport shows that the experimental device operates between 60 to 85% of the ballistic limit. For this ~15 nm diameter Ge nanowire, we also find that 14-18 modes are occupied at room temperature under ON-current conditions with ION/IOFF=100. To observe true one dimensional transport in a <110> Ge nanowire transistor, the nanowire diameter would have to be much less than about 5 nm. The methodology described here should prove useful for analyzing and comparing on common basis nanowire transistors of various materials and structures.
